It could be water weight.. you may be retaining water.. I  gained 4 lbs between 2 days, then I  reviewed my diet, and saw I had a large amount of sodium one day in between the week.. so I backed down of the item that was causing  water weight.. I dropped the 4lbs.. I m sure you will be alright..  do not beat yourself up!! you have to eat over 26,000 calories to get the 7 lbs gain.. I'm sure you havent't eaten that much calories on the small amount we eat.. no worries CONGRATS ON  YOUR SUCCESS!!

Topic: RE: gained weight
Congrats on the graduation! I wouldn't worry too much. I know it feels horrible but maybe your burst of weight loss wasn't really a weight loss??? Maybe your scale was broken? Or you mis-read the scale? Or the planets were out of alignment? Losing 8 pounds and then gaining 7 doesn't sound quite right.  You would have to have eaten 25400 extra calories to gain 7 lbs and that sounds highly unlikely. You know things are stressful and you aren't doind exactly waht you should be but i don't think that adds up to a 7 lb weight gain.  Bru**** off as a fluke and move on. Enjoy your day that you have worked so hard for! Take care!!!

 I can't believe it, I weigh 149 lbs today! I am just 4 lbs away from a NORMAL BMI. I still can't believe I can wear size 10's and am not considered a normal BMI! It's crazy whoever came up with the BMI chart it had to be a MAN! ;)

I am posting pics on my blog. So hop over and see the new me! I still can't believe that is me in the photo! I would NEVER EVER had worn this type of shorts before.

Today is my 81 year old mother's birthday and I am officially down 201 lbs. from my all time high of 409 lbs. I can't think of a better present for her. Happy Birthday Mom!

I am blown away by my good fortune. I never dreamed I'd have lost so much weight in less than a year. Amazing. On this day, I am wishing for all my fellow July 2009 WLS friends the feeling of satisfaction that I am experiencing today. No matter where you are on this journey, you are still so much better off than you were a year ago. The best is yet to come.

I am so grateful for this "life" giving surgery. May you all have a wonderful weekend.
